    He looks like a retired actor who is now a theater teacher that lets you call him by his first name. But like, if you seem him at the grocery store, he’d look like Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

      They do look alike. I get him confused with James Franco, not because they look alike, but I dunno. They have the same handsome attitude. But I think James is probably sillier. I'm glad JGL was able to relax once he started getting the roles that made him feel professional.

    What an incredibly normal dude. He's just an actor and understands how the game works since he's been in it since he was a kid. Crazy to see no ego and no eccentricity out of an actor being nostalgic of a career. Refreshing he came out of Hollywood with a career as a child actor and an adult actor without having any sort of that strangeness that his peers get.

      It also seems that, unlike many child actors that may have been talented and enjoyed some aspects, his being an actor was likely his genuine choice. He speaks about his drive to act in dramas like someone who always was spurred on by genuine joy in his craft? Maybe not all the projects, but just HAVING a project to be proud of seems to have been his aim. You hear of a lot of child actors who may have started off loving it, but eventually want to stop and are almost pushed to continue by family/friends/agents/society in general. Instead of being allowed to say "yeah i think i'm done" (like i was allowed to do when i decided i didnt like soccer) these child actors are made to stay in a vedy high pressure lifestyle against what they would necessarily choose. Joseph (appears) to have chosen to stay on his career path the entire time.

    I love 500 Days of Summer. I was a freshman in college when I first saw it and fell in love with a girl at first sight. At that time on the first couple of viewings I was upset at Zoeys character. It echoed a lot of what I wanted in my relationship with the girl I loved. It ended between us and I felt jaded like Joseph’s character.
    As I matured I watched it again and realized how I idealized that girl and how I made up what she was in my head and not who she actually was as a person. That I was selfish, just like he was selfish putting expectations on someone else.

      I had a very similar experience. Though I’m a girl and was OBSESSED with this guy. Definitely unhealthy. You spoke to exactly why I loved this movie and how it made me grow and how I believe with that growth, I love it even more. This and the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind are my go to break up/feel better movies.

I think about my 10yr old and wld never want that for them but at the same time someone like JGL says he loved it so it goes to show you that some ppl were just born to do it

    That Robert Redford moment is a slice of pure gold. The confidence it would have given him to hear a Hollywood legend like Redford say “I never hit my marks” - not to mention the conceited effort to keep it quiet, as if he was telling him a secret no one else knew.
    Wil Wheaton tells a story about William Shatner that’s the EXACT opposite - where Shatner was mean, short and just generally demeaning towards him (the first time the two met, when Wheaton was a child actor).
    It’s very telling to a persons strength of character in how they treat their subordinates (and indeed children). Redford was a class act. He helped change the actor’s role in Hollywood - absolute legend.

    Hearing him talk about 10 Things explains a lot about why he so heavily dove into independent flicks during the early 2000s. Brick, Manic, and Mysterious Skin are among my all time fave flicks.

    I had a massive crush on him after seeing Angels in the Outfield and I've been a fan of his ever since. All through 3rd Rock, his more indie films, HitRecord... he always entertains, drama-free and just seems like a cool person.

    I have nothing but awe and respect for JGL. One of my favorite things he has done was "Inception". That hallway fight scene is just INSANE, when you think about it. But I can't imagine any other actor or stunt crew to do that sequence. Off-screen, he seems like a warm, genuine, down-to-earth man. Kudos to him and any future success he has.

  • @adamschlinker972

    Mysterious Skin, Brick, and Manic are the movies I think of when I think Joseph Gordon Levitt. He just was so good, and committed to the roles, and emotional. The absolute best.

  • @originaozz

    I love all parts that JGD played, but never listened to his interviews. Just impress by how proud he is with his career! Not many will admit that, like how he took it so seriously, think of himself as above some of his choices, but still enjoy it all looking back. That feels refreshing real to hear.
